Exercise Set 6
1. Evaluate each expression c. -5 increased by 15 d. -a-b
a. +7+8 d. -5 increased by +5 e. a-b+c
b. -7–6 e. 7 increased by x f. b-a
c. - 12 + 7 f. 10 more than –15 g. a-(-b)
d. + 7—12 g. 10 more than—5 h. a-(-b)-c
e. -8+8 h. 10 is more than –5
f. 10—11 i. - 12 subtracted from 10 9. Evaluate
g. - 1 –2 –3 j. The sum of –7 and 9 a. 124 decreased by -100
h. -1 –2 +3 b. -50 minus 20
6. For each example, translate c. the difference between 80
then evaluate. x = -2 and y = 3 and –80?
2. Separate into terms then
evaluate. a. 7 less than x d. 127 less than -200?
a. - 7— ( -7) b. 7 less than –15 e. 50 less -30?
b. 8 — ( +6) c. x less than 7 f. -47 subtracted from -98
c. 9 - (-9) d. x increased by 7
d. (- 12 ) - (- 10) e. 7 increased by x
e. - ( -4) + (- 6) f. 7 is less than x
f. - (-10) - (+ 25) g. 7 less x
g. 5 — (-6) - (+ 7) h. the sum of –10 and x
h. 45 — (- 55) - 100 i. the sum of x and y
j. the difference between x and
y
3. Simplify each problem 2
different ways k. the difference between y and
x
a. - (8-11)
b. - (12-5)
7. Decide if the number is a
c. + (7-12)
solution to the equation
d. + (-4+11)
a. x—7 = 9 x = -2
4. Separate into terms, sim-
b. -10 = x— 5 x = -5
plify each term then combine
the results. c. 7— x = 8 x = -1
d. 1=6+x x = -5
a. - (+7) - (8-10) + (12-1)
b. 10 - (-8) + (-2) - (8-10) 8. Evaluate each expression
when a=-3, b=-2, c=+1
a. a+b
5. For each example, translate
then evaluate b. a-b
a. 7 less than 10 c. -a+b
b. 7 less than –15
